Why Write Poetry? In Fact Why Write?
Introduction A lot of people I am acquainted with don't even read books, the headlines of from newspapers seem to be their limit. Their reasoning being, why read a book when you can watch the film? As Peter Jackson said, "This Lord of The rings is Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings", plus a book tends to contain a lot more than a film or TV adaptation, not that I am averse to films and TV series based on books. But back to the point of this piece.

Can An Old Reshared Vocal Piece Ever Be A Top Story?
Introduction When I started reusing stories during my issues last year, I realised that most of my old work was still excellent, but many of my new readers would be unaware of it. After all, who goes through another creator's back catalogue just to see what they might have written?

The Month of May
In the month of May with flowers popping up pretty much everywhere one begins to think. What are we thinking at this time of year? Is it that the school year is just about over with graduations ever so close or is it the many various kinds of engagements that seem to show how some are finding their One and only in hopes of forever. May is the month where we seem to take a breath and realize maybe who we are and if we are meant to find that special someone or to go on and cultivate knowledge as we cultivate that flower garden of life. I am one of those who, I guess, is one to cultivate knowledge for I am a writer and wanting to cultivate understanding of words and how words help each of us express our needs and wants in many ways. Again, the month of May is the real beginning of personal growth.

BAD DAY…
Not everyday is a good day, sometimes there are bad days too in life. But we as a greedy human beings want everyday to be a good day only and it’s not possible at all, and when we encounter such day we vent our on other, this is absolutely coward behavior. It means we can’t face the problem or confort the other person and we tend to unleash that pain and anger to the ones who are close to us the most.

The first installment of The Getting to Know Each Other Better Game was a huge success. Thank you to everyone that participated! 🙂 There were so many comments I couldn’t keep up. I tried to respond to everyone that commented, but fell short. That being said, Installment Number One was a whole lotta fun!

Limitless
Have you ever wanted to learn in a different way from how you learned what you needed to learn. How do you like that tongue twister. Jim Kwik has written an academic book that shows you how to do this and it's titled 'LIMITLESS' with the subtitle 'Upgrade your brain, learn anything faster, and Unlock your exceptional life'. This is a book that should be read chapter by chapter as the author suggests right from the beginning of the book.
